Kerala Grandeur – 7 Nights 8 Days Tour Package
7 Night 8 DayTrip Highlights
So this Kerala trip is for 8 days and 7 nights it’s a nice and relaxed plan, not too rushed. You’ll get a mix of everything hill station, backwaters, beaches, little bit of wildlife and lots of greenery all around. Honestly, the whole vibe of Kerala is very peaceful… you’ll feel that slow, calm pace from Day 1.
We usually start the trip with Munnar it’s cool and green, full of tea gardens, waterfalls, that fresh mountain air… perfect to chill and take a break from city noise. Then we head to Thekkady, where you get a bit of jungle feel and spice plantations. If you’re into adventure, we can try boating or bamboo rafting too.
After that, Alleppey that’s the backwater part. This is the highlight for most people. You’ll stay in a houseboat, just floating through those quiet canals, watching the villages go by… it’s super peaceful, like time just slows down. Food on the boat is also homely and tasty, all freshly cooked.
Then comes Kovalam or Varkala if you want beach vibes. Sunset there is honestly next level. If you love photography or just relaxing near the sea, this part of the trip feels like a mini beach holiday inside a nature trip.
Throughout the trip, the food is mostly South Indian rice, sambar, dosa, but you’ll also get North Indian options almost everywhere. People are warm and helpful, roads are decent (a bit curvy in Munnar side), and mobile network is okay in most places.
By the end of the trip, you’ll feel refreshed, like proper break mila ho. Not just sightseeing, but also that peaceful feel… you’ll remember the green everywhere, the smell of spices, the calm water, and that cozy homely service.
If you want I can also tweak it a bit based on your interests like more nature, less beach, or more activities. But overall, this trip gives you the full Kerala experience.
